This is basically what it says....Lemme start and you'll see.

Back in my 35mm days(when I had my Canon A-1 with Tamron 60-300mm)
I took a venture over the Pennsylvania line which isn't too far from my Dad's house.
There is a place called the Pennsylvania Game Lands where there used to old houses back in the 1800's 99% of which are all gone now. All thats left is the old stone fences and foundations.
There is a old small cemetery that hasn't had anyone buried in it since the late 1800's. It's called the Coburn Cemetery. Time was mid Summer when the Tiger Lilies were in bloom.
There was a ray of sunlight shinning threw the trees on the head stones.
So I thought it'd be kewl to take a Tiger Lilly and stick it in front of the head stones and call it "Life In Death".
Snapped about 3-4 frames and went on about my day.
Here is the kicker....when I had my film developed those 3-4 shots were BLACK!!!:huh
The shots before and after those turned out fine!:dunno

There was no error on my part or malfunction of my equipment.
Gotta be about the most erie thing I have ever had happen to me!!!

Yes I plan to go back there this year after 10yrs and try some digital shots again to see what happens!
